Javier Mariscal is a Spanish ar>st who started designing in the 1970s. He started off by pain>ng and sculpturing, which then lead onto furniture design and interior design. He loved landscape pain>ng with building and ci>es as well as typography work. he expresses himself in a personal language, which is complex when he intends to do something but simple when it is produced.

Mariscal has recently been working with the city Barcelona, looking at different environments and cultures, he sees the old building and then uses his ini>a>ve on crea>ng something extraordinary. He has also worked with the city Paris and sees the busy life, which then he brings to paper.

Overall I really like Mariscal work and what he did as a designer. The way he developed and cooperated his designs to the surroundings was very intriguing. His furniture design was more modern and more use of colours than his pain>ngs.

However I liked the work of what he did with his typography and how he made it into a collage and how each leGering had a meaning. I liked his pain>ng and city work more tan his furniture designs.

I could use Mariscal design work into my work of how he designs his typography and how he made into a collage, as well as his drawing/ pain>ngs of the ci>es.

Target, 1958, Jasper Johns

J a s p e r

Johns is an American ar>st who worked in New York City for a while. Is an abstract expressionist who uses form and colour and primarily working in pain>ng and printmaking. His most well known work is the pain>ng of his flag, which his work oKen describes as a Neo-­‐Dadaist. This type of movement if the opposite of pop art.

The first thing that caught my eye is the use of Jasper Johns colours, and the way he took approach of each deign he produced. Jasper johns American flag is produced using oil pastels making a collage onto a plywood, which he thought was a great idea.

I could use Johns ideas by picking out his colours and experimen>ng different colours he mixed in to produce different designs.

“S1ll Life with mandolin and Guitar”, 1924

The First Style of Abstract Art. Factory, Horta de Ebbo, Pablo Picasso 1909

Pablo Picasso started pain>ng when he was 8 years old and they were not any ordinary drawings they were very different. At a young age he developed abstract art and later on he created a movement called cubism. He went through 4 periods when he was a designer, blue period, rose period, African period and cubism. His worked involved portraits of pain>ng which, he designed using the city as well as his imagina>on. He was an explorer, which involves people he saw in ci>es and there lifestyle and what they were doing. Pablo Picasso imagina>on was so intriguing as his work had a message of how the city life is.

Pablo Picasso is one of my best designers and I look up to what he did and how his designs were created as it had a lot of meaning towards, not only the pain>ng itself, but also the use of colours. By using just the colours it self it changes the whole mood and feeling of the picture. His cubism work was so amazing and how he incorporated that movement as a piece f work that you could tell what the picture is about.

I would use Picasso’s ideas in my own idea, as it would help me how to use colours and what design I could do to deliver the message and change the feeling of the image.

Mimmo Rotella

Rotella is an Italian ar>st and poet, which he is well known for his decollage and psychogeographics. He uses torn posters and adver>sing utensils to make his master pieces. Most of his abstract work consisted in USA, which inspired him peeling adver>sement posters, which lead him onto making his own studio in Rome. he took the cubists ideas of collage and added elements of art does not conform to natural ideas. Rotellas work all started from the city and has a major impact as he found inspira>on in the dilapidated billboards of Piazza del Popolo, close to his studio in Rome. This combined with examples of American abstract.

I like how Rotella created his ideas from scrap paper and adver>sment, which created a unique design. He had the idea of using the city as an inspira>on and finding different artefacts and combing them and removing parts, which I thought was very crea>ve as he made his design such a way that it would create a message and a unique poster. The only down fall of Rotella works would be that some>mes it could get messy and too much, which he kept everything limited. I could use his design, as part of my idea, by combining different parts of the city and tearing it up to create my own message of the city in flux.

R o b e r t R a u s c h e n b e r g

An American painter and graphic ar>st who was involved in pop art movement, but he was well known for his combina>on work. He did not use non tradi>onal materials and objects, as he was more a painter and a sculptor and the combina>on of both. As well as this he went onto do photography and printmaking.

Rauschenberg influenced in the as he found trash and objects from the city of new your, which interested him and brought back to his studio where he integrated into his work.

The way Rauschenberg painted his collage was intriguing, as he used different types of colours and created his image using his photography images.

ARTISTIC is a defin>on, which is An “Ar>s>c” point of perspec>ve, defini>on of this font is aesthe>cally pleasing and u can imagine that this can be included in the genre of music, drama and pain>ngs.

Youthful design is more targeted and suggested to a child's carefree view of life, by using bright colours and a fun typographic style. This kind of design is an innocence and youth kind of design.

Vintage is a style from the history with enduring appeal. It has its own feel and classic look and characterises its excellence and maturity.
